Hamas expects same anti-Palestinian 'bias' under Trump
Islamist movement Hamas which controls Gaza said that it did not expect a change in US "bias" against the Palestinians with Donald Trump in the White House. "The Palestinian people do not count much on any change in the US presidency because the US policy towards the Palestinian issue is a consistent policy on the basis of bias," Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told AFP. "Nevertheless, we hope that US president Trump will re-evaluate this policy and rebalance it on the Palestinian issue."

Is there any last minute chance for Hillary Clinton?
* If Clinton takes many of the remaining states – including Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota and Arizona – she would get enough of the electoral college to reach the all-important 270 votes and make her way to the White House.
*Another possible outcome is that the election goes down to a tie. Clinton will lose in that case since the Republicans are almost certain to retain both legislatures.

Obama's recent comment on Trump explains the panic over latest poll results
As polls closed and media called state races one-by-one, giving the key battleground states of Ohio, Florida and North Carolina to the Republican maverick, pollsters scrambled to update their forecasts and point to an improbable upset. This quote by Barack Obama clearly explains the slight panic:
"In the last two days, they had so little confidence in his self-control they said we are just going to take away your Twitter. Now, if somebody can't handle a Twitter account, they can't handle the nuclear codes. If somebody starts tweeting at three in the morning because SNL made fun of you, then you can't handle the nuclear codes."

With voting completed in more than two-thirds of the 50 US states, the race was too close to call in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Virginia, states that could be vital to deciding which contender wins the presidency. Spot gold was up 2.9% at $1,311.80 an ounce by 0235 GMT. Bullion peaked at $1,312.80, its strongest since October 4.

Share benchmarks are tumbling across Asia after Donald Trump gained the lead in electoral votes, with 123 to Hillary Clinton's 97 as of 9pm EST (0200 GMT). Markets had opened solidly higher but quickly shed those gains, reflecting investor concern over what a Trump presidency might mean for the economy and trade. Japan's Nikkei 225 index dropped 2.4 per cent to 16,777.85 as the US dollar sank against the Japanese yen, a trend that would be unfavorable to exporters.
